TAMPA BAY AREA | A dense fog advisory is in effect for Polk, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties until 9 a.m. today.

According to Bay News 9 Meteorologist Juli Marquez, fog is hugging parts of the coast, creating limited visibility in those areas and inland as well.

The limited visibility due to the fog is expected to get better as the conditions improve later in the morning. After the fog burns off, temperatures rise, and some lingering low clouds lift, moisture will move into the area by this afternoon.

Morning temperatures in the 50s and 60s will rise into the upper 70s and some 80s this afternoon. Conditions will be partly sunny with some scattered showers Monday afternoon.

"Deep moisture is coming to the area," Marquez said. "Rain chances will increase by this afternoon."

Rain chances are 40 percent today and higher on Tuesday and Wednesday.
